The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is collaring two young male elephants from the Amboseli region to better understand their migration routes. As Kenya's population increases dramatically every year, land traditionally used by elephants as routes is being populated and developed. IFAW intends to study data from the collared elephants movements to plot how this will impact them.
